in This is How You Pronounce Ubuntu on dmiessler.com | grep understanding

thank you pronunciation police for that PSA


The thing is that most people just don't give a damn because they will never use OO-BOON-TOO. I'm a geek, but my caring about such pronunciations is contextual.


example:
If I'm talking to a dude in line at Wal-Mart whose profession is a truck driver about Linux variants. And he says "oo-BUN-too" I am just not going to care. However, if I am interviewing a person who might be my next Ubuntu Administrator and he is pronouncing everything wrong, then I'll be worried.

I've been looking for a descent one for a while. They all seems to have quirks that you have to live with.

in Ron Paul is Seriously Flawed as a Candidate; We’re Just So in Love With Him That We’re Not Paying Attention on dmiessler.com | grep understanding
The end result will be Guliani/Thompson vs. Hilary/Obama.

Guliani will win.

Why do I think this? I believe that the real powers are not the people who vote but the organizations throwing money at these campaigns (this is not so much an oversimplified conspiracy theory as much as a *collusion of very powerful people/organizations who usually get their way. For examples of collusion SEARCH "NAFTA Mexico", "Money Masters", "federal reserve privately owned", "Who Killed the Electric Car", "Freedom to Fascism", "Aaron Russo").

Where is Giuliani in the polls (as of 11 Sept 07):
http://www.presidentpolls2008.com/Articles/dail...
he's doing quite well.

Like Chris Rock said, “He’s great – in a crisis. But in real life Giuliani’s kinda like a pit bull. He’s great when you have a burglar, but if you don’t, he just might eat your kids.”

The control of the masses seems to be the on going trend in the U.S. More specifically control by reactionary fear.

*In the study of economics and market competition, "collusion" takes place within an industry when rival companies cooperate for their mutual benefit.

The GSEC sound interesting, but I'd definitely go for CISSP first because more employers
are looking for it.

Saul,

I've heard that the CCNA has changed signifigantly since I took it in 2003 (more hands allows you to actually type in commands for a router), but I'm sure the differences between it an the CISSP are the same. Aside from the content, of course, the types of questions on the CCNA are simple knowledged based "Type the Command needed to enter the configuration of the router" sorts of questions. Whereas, the CISSP is comprehensive and require you to choose the "best" answer out of four.

From a content perspective there really is no comparison. Cisco does not have an equivalent to the CISSP that I could find. The CISSP covers so much ground at a high "management" level. Until, you get to CCIE, Cisco certs are each pretty specialized to a small area of networking. CCNA is a broad look at the basics of routing (relatively small slice that can gauge subnetting skills & what commands you know while in typical switch or router). CISSP is a broad look at everything in information security (so broad that it says nothing about technical skill).

All I know about the GSEC is that its SANS, its expensive and its open book.
